Dana Holgorsen happy to help Matthew McConaughey with his hair for ‘Gold’

Dana Holgorsen let Matthew McConaughey know that he was more than happy to help him out with his hairstyle for Gold

Okay, as the year 2017 gets off to its start here still in the month of January, we’re still just beginning to rack up some of the weird things that we’re seeing. You know, like Matthew McConaughey saying that he drew some inspiration for a movie role from West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Yeah, you heard that correctly.

McConaughey is starring in the movie Gold, and as everyone has been able to tell from the trailers, he has a pretty wild hairstyle. Well, in a recent interview with the Austin-American Statesman, the award-winning actor revealed that the inspiration for the wild hair actually came from the Mountaineers head coach — which actually made a ton of sense when you thought about it.

“My dad was always around a lot of guys who looked like Kenny,” McConaughey said. “They were great consumers of life — whatever they could eat, drink, smoke, kiss and slobber on, they did it.

“But you know where it really came from? I haven’t told anyone else this. I went to the hair lady, said, ‘It’s this guy’s hair,’ and handed her a picture of Dana Holgorsen,” McConaughey said, laughing uproariously.

So yeah, that’s a thing that happened in early 2017. Matthew McConaughey drawing inspiration from Dana Holgorsen. Yep.

Now what might be even better is that after Holgorsen learned that he was able to help one of the best actors on the planet with a role, he was pretty much like, “yeah, you’re welcome.”

I just love everything about this and you all should too. Everything here is just the best, from McConaughey admitting where the look came from to Holgo giving it all a thumbs up.
